Charles Town Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

BREAK THE CHAINS (6) is back at the races for the first time since November 6. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1308m at this track. Rates highly and should take some beating. NAY'S ONLY ONE (3) finished just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt) after racing on the speed. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HAWKSTONE (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Laurel (Dirt) over 1106m. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. EL MAYO (7) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when second over 1710m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. In the mix.

Comes here off a 40-day let-up. At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at this track on December 6 over 1308m, 0.8 len behind Mo Joke with 54kg at $6. The race before that came from midfield and won by a nose at Mountaineer Park November 24 over 1609m defeating Global Phenom carrying 56kg at $2.50. Solid run last time and is a strong winning hope again.
